This is Jeremiah 44:30 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (LORD, I, hand, that), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
